In this detailed video, Col Amardeep Singh provides a deep dive into the AISSEE 2026 notification, focusing on reservation policies, seat distribution, and the strategic importance of e-counseling.

Seat Distribution & Reservation Policies:
→ Home State vs. Other State: Total seats are divided into 67% for Home State and 33% for Other States.
→ Category Sub-divisions: Both segments follow a specific reservation pattern:
SC: 15%
ST: 7.5%
OBC (Non-Creamy Layer): 27%
Defense: 25% of the remaining balance (not 25% of the total).
General/Unreserved: The remaining seats.
→ Girls' Reservation: Seats for girls are extremely limited, often restricted to only one seat per category in many schools.

Strategic Insights for Parents:
→ State-Specific Competition: Your child is competing only against candidates from their own state and category. A high overall merit score doesn't guarantee a seat if the competition within your state is fierce (e.g., Bihar vs. Uttarakhand).
→ E-Counseling Logic: E-counseling is a complex process with multiple rounds. Parents must strategically rank schools based on available "Other State" vacancies if their child's marks are on the borderline.
→ RIMC as an Alternative: If a Class 6 student scores 260+, Col Amardeep strongly suggests targeting the RIMC December exam. RIMC has a significantly higher NDA selection rate (approx. 24/25) compared to Sainik Schools (approx. 20/80).

Preparation & Documentation:
→ Essential Documents: Ensure you have the Date of Birth certificate, Caste certificate, Domicile (PRC), and School Studying certificate ready.
→ WEDA Summer Camp: A one-month "Commando Course" (June) is offered to prepare children physically and mentally for the rigors of boarding life, increasing their chances of staying at Sainik School.
→ Webinars: WEDA will host webinars in February featuring former military school principals to answer specific questions from parents and girl students.
